The couple have been lined up for a year, so they presented each other together in April 2024.

Ward, who leads a travel company in Hawaii, that it was quite a challenge to keep his application secret in front of Hefner. “It contradicts our relationship to hide something from her,” he said, “but there was just this little drive because I knew how happy the surprise would make, and it was worth it”.

Hefner himself is apparently busy with the wedding planning shortly after her engagement. A place that is “warm and familiar” floats to her, she said “People”. “We want to be close to nature, close to the sea, and everything should be simple and beautiful,” added the 39-year-old.
